>llOO6/ for Tuberculosis Work.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
Clvcs forcible Illustration of the way
In -which a small sum spent in educa
tion lias secured largo appropriations
fcmu state, county, and municipal of
ficials. The New York State Chart-
Aid association In the three years,
*I9OB. 1909, and 1910, has spent In the
- ap-state portion of New York about
$55,000 in arousing the people to the
dangers of tuberculosis. As a direct
■ result of the public sentiment pro
-j&uccd by this outlay, the state, coun
ty, and municipal authorities have al
ready appropriated for tuberculosis
work $1,500,000 and appropriations for
hundreds of thousands of dollars are
pending. Hundreds of hospitals beds
ttave beam provided, and tho associa
tion already alms for "No Uncared-for
Tuberculosis in 1915."
Thus, the National association says
tf $1,000,000 is realized from the sale
of Red Cross seals, millions more will
lie added to it from the public treas
uries. Last year 25,000,000 stamps
were sold. It Is aimed to sell four
times as many this year.
Easy for Her.
An extremely corpulent old lady was
entertaining her grandchild at lunch
eon when she found occasion to repri
mand the little girl for dropping some
food on the tablecloth.
"You don't see grandma dropping
anything on the table,” she said.
“Of course not,” replied the child;
“God gave you something la front to
atop It.”
A business firm advertises a shirt
without buttons. That's no novelty.
Many a bachelor has worn them for
years.

STORAGE FOR GRAIN
Practical Granary With Several
Good Working Conveniences.
Ohio Farmer Gives Interesting De
scription of Building Constructed
Several Years Ago—Gasoline
Engine Valuable Adjunct.
The granary on our farm was built
In 1875, and we have found it both
practical and convenient, writes Lon
Hurst of Ohio, In Rural New Yorker,
it is a timber frame, 20 by 30 feet,
with 16-foot posts and sets up from
the ground about two feet The girths
are 4 by 4 inch oak scantling the
Joist \ by 8 inch gained two inches in
the beams, leaving four Inches above,
which comes even with the top of the
girths; In this way there Is no chance

for the floor to sag at the ends —it
makes a perfectly tight Joint. The
siding Is one foot whitewood boards;
the entire height of the ends is bat
tened, but only the upper half of the
sides; the lower half Is sawed to make
about four-inch siding, thus leaving an
air space for the corn which is on the
first floor. At one end 1b a double
doorway, seven feet. The second floor
is used entirely for small grain. There
are 11 bins, six on one side, five on
tho other, each being 4% by 4*£ feet,
6V4 feet high, and holding about 100
bushels. The larger part of the floor
can also be used for gratn. and there
Is a grain chute In the center. At one
end Is an elevator raised and low
ered by means of a windlass. It ia
simply a section of flooring with a
rope attached at each corner; these in
turn are attached to two ropes which
pass over the windlass. This Is rath
er tedious, and most of the grain la
carried up the stairs, which are in
one corner. There Is a landing part
way up, the stairs are wide and the
incline easy of ascent, so this method
is not so bad, yet a great convenience;
In'fact this Is about the only feature
of the building In which we would
care to make a change. This floor Is
well lighted by two good-sized win
dows, one at each end.
The grain chutes to the first floor
can perhaps be better understood by
the diagram, A, detachable portion;
B, curved end of Iron which hooks
into staple and holds A in place; C,
piece of board to prevent grain from
leaking out at the sides; D, lever
moved by means of a stick, to open
slide E, which moves ou points F and
II; K nailed to Joist; hooks at the
bottom of A, on which to hang grain
bags. When cleaning over grain, in
stead of the wooden chute, I have can
vas ones which can be twisted In any
direction to reach the top of the fan
ning mill.
There are on the first floor two
corn bins, four feet wide, one running
the entire side, the other not quite as
long, as some of the stair space comes
oui of it. Beside the fanning above
mentioned is a feed mill, run by a gas
oline engine, of which I will speak
later. I have a small box holding 10
or 12 bushels; this being on rollers'
ean.be moved about, so it is not neces
sary to draw from the bln every time
the stock is fed. There is also a large
box holding about 25 bushels for
ground feed. When loading and un
loading grain from the wagon, we use
a scoop-board 20 inches by 4% feet;
this makes a bridge wide enough for
the grain-barrow, and thus facilitates
unloading. The five horsepower gaso
line engine we have had two years,
and it Is certainly a valuable adjunct
to the farm. We use It for buzzing
wood, but it was principally for shell
ing corn and grinding fed that I pur
chased it. Before that we used a pow
er requiring two teams and two men
to drive them, though a good driver
could manage both. We have a sta
tionary iron roof for it, and sides and
ends which can be taken off, thus pro
tecting the machinery from storms.
The picture also shows the construc
tion of the steps into the granary.

PEANUTS MAKE GOOD PROFIT
Last Year’s Crop Was Marketed for
About $36,000,000 —Used for
Fattening Hcgs.
The person who buys a nickel's
worth of peanuts to urautti at the ball
game, to feed'to the squirrels in the
park, or to gladden the hearts of the
kiddies at home, scarcely realizes that
he has contributed to an industry that
last year farmed' a $1,000,000 crop,
which, placed on the market In vari
ous forms, reached the enormous sum
of $36,000,000. But it is a fact!
This little seductive’ nut —a resolu
tion to “eat Just one” is soon forgot
ten —whose birthplace is America,
was, until comparatively recently, un-’
appreciated, either as to the “money,
in it” or as a really nutritious product
Today the peanut plays an-important
part In pleasure, from the swell dinner
party to the ever-present democracy
of the circus, ball game or picnic.
By far the largest part of the crop
Is consumed from the peanut stand,
yet there are millions of bushels that
go to the fattening of hogs throughout
the south and the feeding of poultry,
while the vines, often cured as hay,
feed thousands of head of cattle and
even old mother earth is nourished
by the roots of the plant, which fur
nishes nitrogen from the air.
The result of all this Is, that scien
tists claim that the peauut, which In
the past was not very highly regard
ed, is the only food staple that will
at once nourish man, beast, bird and
field. It la the most nutritious of the
whole nut family, rich in tissue build
ing properties, containing glucose and
carbohydrates—and is the cheapest.
Beyond the shadow of a doubt it Is
first from both a dietary and economlo
standpoint
The fact of tho matter is, the pea
nut Is about every way in a class by
Itself as regards price, average num
ber In pounds, edible part, waste and
fat. Peanuts average about three hun
dred and fifty to pound, at a cost of
ten cents; the edible portion Is 73.6,
waste 26.4, and the amount of fat Is
placed at 80 per cent, of the edible
portion.
ONE METHOD OF FILLING BAG
One Person Can Accomplish THck by
Following Out Plan as Shown
In Illustration.
It very often happens that one
wishes to fill sacks with small grain,
apples, potatoes, etc., but has no one
to help hold the bag An excellent
method of doing this Is to procure an
old wooden or metal bucket and knock
out the bottom, says a writer In Popu-
Bucket Without Bottom.
lar Mechanics. If It Is a metal bucket,
file the edges smooth to prevent Its
tearing the bag. Set the bucket In the
mouth of the bag as shown in the illus
tration and you will have no trouble
In filling It.
The way one keeps hls fowls Is gen
erally the way the fowls keep hirh.
The day of crossing breeds is a
thing of the past. We now have utility
pure breds.
Work up a strain of hens that will
lay. Save the eggs from the best lay
ers, and set them.
It is generally true that short
legged fowls fatten a great deal more
quickly than long legged ones.
It Is easier to keep fowls in good
condition than to allow them to run
down and then build up again.
The fowls that are 6mall for their
age should go now. Their room Is of
more value than their company.
Never change to a new breed simply
because extravagant claims are given.
It Is better to try to improve the old
ones.
No one can consistently be a fancier
and a marketinan at the same time.
The branches are antagonistic to each
other.
Hens dread to get into dirty nest
boxes. They won’t do it if they can
help it. Why don’t you see to this,
right off?
Nest eggs are not needed to induce
hens to lay. They have no influence
whatever over the hens, and have
been discarded on most farms.
Success in poultry raising is to be
had on a large scale by the exercise
of the greatest care. It means hard
work, and that most of the time.
The experienced poußryman breeds
only from his best winter layers. It Is
then when prices are at their best, and
profits are to be counted upon in the
poultry business.
Houses for Hogs.
Build good hog houses before bad
weathdr sets in. Houses in the end
are cheaper than feed at present
prices, ,and hogs will not do their best
when compelled to sleep out of doors
in bad weather. A good feeding floor
pays well. Enough feed is wasted on
the average farm by throwing It into
the mud and slush to help pay the ad-
I ditional expense of housing.

"The melancholy days have come”—’tla
well that he who penned
The poem which begins that way long
aince came to hls end.
The melancholy days, forsooth! The ap
ples In the bln.
The grapes that are so full of Juice It
nearly bursts their skin,
..The pawpaws growing greenish-brown
and fat as butter-balls.
The black-haw plumping till at last from
sheer delight It falls!
“The melancholy days?” O, sniff the
ambient atmosphere
And get the scent the Jocund breeze Is
wafting to us here—
The pungent spiciness and tang that
woos belated bees
And tells us that somewhere today be- ,
heath the orchard trees
A copper kettle bubbles full of apple but- .
ter! Say!
What kind of man could say this is a
melancholy day?
O. let us weep because the gorgeous j
pumpkin waxes fat!
There Is a world of sadness In the very
thought of that.
Full soon we'll bring the pumpkin In
and cut It Into dice
And put It on the stove and boll It maybe
once or twice,
Then later on we’ll sit about the groaning
board and sigh
Because we lack capacity to eat the
whole big pie!
How sad It Is to contemplate the chang
ing of the year.
To see the leaves upon the trees grow |
shrlvelly and sere!
How gloomy Just to sit and think -of
turkeys getting big—
How can some people nowadays be
merry as a grig?
O, it fills one’ soul with woe and gets
upon hls nerves
To think of all the shelves that now are
full of good preserves!
"The melancholy days have come"—O, see
these bitter tears!
Tlie Joyous hour for mincemeat pie with
every moment nears.
O, let the wintry blizzards blow, and
fetch your killing frost.
But bring the mincemeat season and tho
world Is not yet lost.
The melancholy days are near—But,
brother, can't you guess
The nectar of the gods Is dripping from
the cider press!
Music.
The late Mr. Shakespeare said some
severe things about the man who has
no music in his soul and Is not moved
by concord of sweet sounds.
In hls day and time Mr. Shakespeare
was doubtless right.
Mr. Shakespeare never heard a
campaign band. No bannered wagons
filled with tuba and cornet players
ever rolled through the streets of Mr.
Shakespeare’s town, playing by rule j
of thumb while the banners exhorted
the terrified hearers to vote for the
people’s friend.
Mr. Shakespeare never heard Gladys
Montmorency play the piano after she
had spent a year away from home at
a finishing school and had failed to
get her finish.
If Shakespeare had heard Gladys
play and had realized that so far all
she had gleaned from the field of har
mony was the art of crossing her
hands while rendering Old Black Joe
with variations he might have writ
ten a revision of his verdict.
Music hath charms to soothe the
savage breast, perhaps, but there are
times when it occasions the savagery ;
in the breast.
Another Indictment against music is
that so often attempts are made to
combine It with verses ending "And
then to hls old mother he did say,”
thus combining the two In a popular
song of the day.
Sensational to the Extreme.
"Yes, I'm going to start a new mag
azine,” says the man with the fat
purse, “but there won't be the least
bit of sensationalism about it. It will
be utterly different from all others.”
"What’s your program?” asks the
man with Inked fingers.
"Not going to expose anything, not
going to—”
“Huh! Right there you've outlined
one of the most sensational plans for
modern magazines I ever heard.”
Love Me, Love My Dog.
"Here comes that German count. I
wonder if he will propose again, or If
he has been discouraged by my hold
ing him off so long. How happy he
will be, If he does propose, to find
that the only reason for my hesitancy
was that 1 had to have time to teach
dear little Fido to say ‘Yah.’ ”
WHAT HE CONSIDERED FAIR
Mr. Olsen's Offer Must Have Come as
Surprise Even to Persuasive
Claim Agent
Up in Minnesota Mr. Olsen ,had a
cow killed by a railroad train. In
due season the claim agent for the
railroad called:
“We understand, of course, that the
deceased was a very docile and valu
able animal," said the claim agent in
his most persuasive claim-agenUeman
ly manner, "and we sympathize with
you and your family in your loss. But,
Mr. Olsen, you must remember this:
Your cow had no business being upon
our tracks. Those tracks are our pri
vate property and when she invaded
them she became a trespasser. Tech
ically speaking, you, as her owner,
became a trespasser also. But we
have no desire to carry the issue into
court, and. possibly give you trouble.
Now, then, what would you regard as
a fair settlement between you and the
railroad company?"
“Vail,” said Mr. Olsen slowly, “Ay
baen poor Swede farmer, but Ay shall
give you two-dollars.”—Everybody’s.
